    www.epa.gov/ingredients-used-pesticide-products/…
    The use of DDT to control diseases like typhus and malaria was not uncommon in the early 1940s. DDT acts upon the sodium ion channels in the neurons of insects, making them fire in a spontaneous manner. This causes the insects to undergo spasms and eventually die. However, certain mutations in insects can make them resistant to DDT.
